sortBy method

void sortBy(ItemComparator<T> comparator)

Sorts items using a one-time comparator without changing the active order.

This is useful for temporary sorting that doesn't persist.

Example:

cubit.sortBy((a, b) => a.price.compareTo(b.price));

Implementation

void sortBy(ItemComparator<T> comparator) {
  final currentState = state;
  if (currentState is! SmartPaginationLoaded<T>) return;

  final sorted = List<T>.from(currentState.items)..sort(comparator);
  final sortedAll = List<T>.from(currentState.allItems)..sort(comparator);

  emit(
    currentState.copyWith(
      items: sorted,
      allItems: sortedAll,
      lastUpdate: DateTime.now(),
    ),
  );
}
